Uriah's Apatite

Some Info About Us

All loose stones can be mounted in any fashion. Just let me know what you're thinking with a picture or description. If you can dream it I can do it. All stones listed have been mined in Maine. All Tourmaline has been mined at Mt. Apatite in Auburn, Maine unless otherwise noted. I'm a Maine Artist and have been mining at Mt. Apatite for over ten years. I found a spot where The Maine Tourmaline Co. in 1904-5 had worked the Tourmaline out of the pocket rock. They did this in a small area on a dirt bank leaving a wonderful mess. This amazing mess sat hidden in the dirt for a hundred years until I rediscovered it. I quickly found they were only interested in the large Tourmaline. This left behind an amazing assortment of very usable and rare material. I've had hundreds of cts cut and have many more to get cut. I also make dainty Crystal Pendants, Micro-Mosaics, and Earrings with these historic and rare mineral specimens. My wire wraps can be found here and in over thirty Fine Jewelry Shops throughout New England. Just ask for a location near you.

A mineral museum that's opening soon in Bethel will have an exhibit of minerals and mining equipment that I found and collected from 2006-10 at Mt. Apatite.

If you have any questions please ask. All item sizes and weights are listed in the product description page. Thanks for looking. Have a great day!
